Dark deboned in chunks I divided recipe portions (above) to make it easier= to pre-prepare. To make Sauce, mix cornstarch and water together. Add= garlic , ginger, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and wine. Then add broth and MSG= and stir 'til sugar dissolves. Refrigerate 'til needed. In separate bowl= mix chicken, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in egg. Add cornstarch until= chicken is coated evenly. Add oil to help separate chicken pieces. Divide= chicken in small quantities and deep-fry @ 350 until crispy and light= brown. (Do not overcook; watch temp, stir fry or meat will toughen). Drain= on paper towels. Place a small amount of oil in wok and heat 'til just hot.= Add onions and peppers and stir-fry briefly (peppers will give off acrid= smoke..be careful). Stir sauce; add to wok. Add chicken and cook just= 'til sauce thickens. Add water or water/cornstarch if needed. This amount= will fill two large platters and serves 6-8. Serve with white steamed= rice.
